Brushstrokes and Love Notes — Tina Martin

Morgan David has always had a thing for Jamila Hampton. They share mutual friends, but Jamila has never given the eccentric painter the time of day even though she knows he's crushing on her. But one date may change all of that, especially after Morgan subtly convinces her to 'like' him by giving her a series of short notes that collectively make up an entire letter to relay his deep feelings for her. Will Jamila get the message, or will her past relationship prevent her from seeing what's right in front of her?*These characters first appear in Mr. Tall, Dark and Unavailable. Morgan and Jamila are friends of Nia Yearwood. If you haven't read that book, I strongly suggest you read it before this one, but it's not required.
